Who from Tyson/Vitaly K/Lewis/Holyfield at their prime would have the best chance of defeating Tyson Fury?

[Oliverlogan263]

I had a discussion with a group of folks the other day about who would be the toughest opponent for Tyson Fury from the legends of the 90s and early 00s. It's always tough to judge different boxers from different eras, but it's a fun topic.

Some might argue that all of them would beat him; others might argue that none of them would.

So the question is better phrased as

Who would you be more comfortable betting money on to beat Tyson Fury? And why? **

Prime vs. Prime

Mike Tyson, Vitaly Klitchko, Lennox Lewis, or Evander Holyfield?

Mike Tyson

Vitali Klitschko

Lennox Lewis

Evander Holyfield

All of them.. Simply put their all, all time heavy weights.. They're elite fighters who challenged the best of their eras and won.. Tyson isn't an elite fighter, and the era of boxers he's in isn't particularly great.. Despite being a very big guy who's not strong, fast, and not a particularly good puncher.. They would all wash the floor him him.. Even for the smaller Heavyweights like Mike, he would just be a big punching bag..

EVERY SINGLE ONE WOULD HAVE POSITIVELY FREAKIN' SMOKED TYSON FURY LIKE A CIGARETTE !!! Those four lads (Four Lads? They were a Canadian singing group in the 50's.) were ALL TIME GREAT boxers. Six-nine,275-pound Tyson Fury, despite his size, has little power, isn't a good boxer, and is MIGHTY LUCKY to be in an era with almost no top heavyweights. What Tyson would have done to Fury in about 90 seconds would have been so ugly to imagine, it would cause nightmares for weeks.

this guy is nothing special... he's just the less bad at a time where there's practically nobody that good around, lol

Lennox Lewis
